Not Tonight, Dear, I Have a Headache

No blog today. Near migraine level headache. Too much pain to even look for fart jokes.

See you tomorrow.

Barry

A mighty wind blows Water cascades from the sky No pictures today

Tropical Storm Barry is currently about 50 miles or so Southwest of Tampa. Where I live.

Now, ol' Barry isn't a particularly powerful storm. His winds are just barely Tropical Storm strength, but his rain is pretty heavy. Lots of lightning, too.

I live in a mobile home, and winds aside, the main problem we're having is periodic power fluctuations. Tiny brown outs.

It makes doing anything on the computer an issue. =/

This means taking an hour or so to write up and organize the rest of the Busch Gardens pics. I already lost some work from the power cuts. Very annoying. So I'll finish it later today, assuming the storm passes by this late afternoon as predicted, and when the power stops playing peek-a-boo.

Enjoy your, hopefully less windy and wet, day!

Bathroom Humor

I'm off visiting Tek today. So you'll have to wait another day for the final batch of Busch Gardens pics.

To tide you over, we have a return engagement from Kinder Happy Hippo and Dog. ((You may recall them from this earlier filler ... ))



And that, kids, is why you should never play shark and try to scare your bathmate!

Jurassic Fart (or, What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs)

Kids are out for the summer today, and unbeknown to me, Mom decided today was the day we were going through their drawers and closets to separate school clothes from play clothes from dress clothes, and come up with five camp clothes outfits.

*sigh*

So, you get farts ...

Laser Fart

Farts. Must be a filler.

I was going to do a nice post today, but ended up running errands from 8am until now, which is ... 2pm. So I'm fairly wiped out. (No fart pun intended).

I decided that I would show a super-hero movie for those of you who missed seeing Spider-Man 3. Rumors are this guy will be in the fourth installment as Spidey's side-kick. Okay, not really, but it couldn't be worse than Sandman, Venom, and New Goblin. *sigh*



Good thing the lasers seem to coalesce outside his pants. Can you imagine the wardrobe bill this guy would have other wise? And, just throwing this out, if those are dry farts, I wonder what a wet one would be like?

Better Late Than Never --- Well, Maybe This should Be Never

Blogger had a problem with my account this morning and into the afternoon, so nothing was posted for today. Well, until now ... and, maybe I shouldn't have posted it, because ... you know when I do fillers, they are usually about .. yeah, you guessed it ... farts.

And this one is the weirdest yet.

You may want to cover you eyes, as well as your nose on this one, folks. ~.^

I give to you ...

FARTING HIPPO!

I'll have something less grotesque and eccentric tomorrow ... promise! ^.^;;;

Pirate Kitty

I sustained a a mild concussion today when a vehicle barrier drop bar (a metal or PVC tube gate bar thinggie) hit me just above my left temple. I have a raging headache, a large raised bruise, and little tolerance for for real thinking, at the moment.

I'm taking the next day or two off from blogging to give my poor, bruised and abused brain some rest. I'll be back Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Well, unless I feel better before then, or get really, really bored and sneak on to post something.

So until then, here is a cute picture to tide you over:

Still Bleah, More Farts

Title speaks for itself. (Little whacked out on pain meds right now, forgive the abruptness of this post hehe).

Stay for the ending!

The Empire Farts Back

I'm battling a nagging sinus headache, as well as what may be the beginnings of peripheral polyneuropathy brought about by my diabetes. My podiatrist warned me of this and we've been watching for signs. All this week I've bad foot pain in my right big toe ball joint. Today, my left foot feels as if a marble is embedded under the skin on the bottom between my little toe and the next one over.

I simply didn't feel like coming up with a blog. So that is why today's is late.

Filler blogs are usually fart related. The following is not, strictly speaking, farting. But it sounds like farts, and is called hand farting. Since yesterday was about R2-D2, and with Star Wars' 30th Anniversary looming, I give to you the Empire's Theme in Hand Farts.

You Arrgh a Pirate

I had a nice post about WoW I wrote up last night in Notepad. The plan was to copy it into the Roost this morning. I seem to have misplaced the file.

Instead, you may amuse yourselves by watching this cute video of kids in costume singing along with a good ol' piratey song, thus keeping with the pirate theme from yesterday. It's pretty funny, well edited, and fantastically acted by the kids involved. (I dunno where the song is from, though.)


Try not to get this tune stuck in your head, me hearties.

For those who don't read comments, there were two links to other piratey items you may be interested in:

Beartracks gave a link to a Pirate Keyboard.

Michael gave a link to some Pirate Gold.

Thanks for the links, guys!

Quality Content

Here at Raivynn's Roost, we strive to bring you quality content for your personal entertainment. But, since I have other things needing to be done today, you get this instead:

And you thought Cow Week was done. Ha!

At least this one doesn't release any moo-thane.

Note: We've reached the sextillions in the Penny Doubled Daily. This refers to six places beyond the thousands and is denoted by 10²¹. It has absolutely nothing to do with how many people will want to be intimate with you if you had this kind of money ... but I imagine the numerical value would be similar. ~.^

Blame it on the Mudpuppy!

Since Mudpuppy stole my blog idea for today, I've not got anything planned. *sigh*

Heh, he didn't actually steal it. He merely beat me to it. So now, because of him, you have a ... dare I say it? ... A Fart Filler!!!

I present for your visual, auditory, but thankfully not olfactory, pleasure ...

The Belgium Farting Pig!

All I have to say is ... "Those poor, poor chickens."

This is a clip from a Belgian children's show. Apparantly, flatulant anthropomorphic porcines are considered high entertainment for kids in Belgium. I can see hordes of school children running about, singing the catchy little tune and blasting farts at one another while smiling parents and teachers in gasmasks watch the playful antics.

You have to admit the tune gets into your head. Now, every time you feel a fart coming on, you'll start humming this little ditty. It'll be like an early warning system to those around you.

I think it's hilarious they subtitle the farts. The phrase, "fopje flauw mopje" roughly translates to "little fools tell insipid little jokes."

Don't forget to thank Mudpuppy for this fine flatulant Friday filler. ~.^

More Toilet Humor

Ran across this cute picture.

Decided to have a contest to see who can make the funniest caption for it. The winner will receive a prize of photo-manipulation caricature of themselves, or other person they want. Winner must provide the original digital photo. contest ends Friday, March 2nd, Noon EST.

I'll start off with a few (that won't count):

"OMG, that is the last time I eat at that Chinese restaurant!"

"Ma'am, we've found the clog in your toilet ... and your missing cat."

"I dunno why my humans complain about this job. Who needs scrub brushes?"

Infrared Farts

At Mudpuppy's blog he posted a quote he enjoyed. I, too, enjoyed the quote and decided to put it into action.

The Quote:

Make visible what, without you, might never have been seen.
—Robert Bresson

The Action:


Okay, okay ... I know that's probably not what Robert Bresson had in mind. Or Mudpuppy, for that matter. But what can you expect from a filler post on the Roost? Muahahahahaha

Admit it, you now wish you had infrared goggles when you were out in public.

And a gas mask.

Video: The Winter

Another shortie post today. The day's plans are up in the air, and I've no clue if I'll be able to post anything later. My Aunt is still in town, and I suspect we'll end up going for lunch somewhere. Mainly because I ain't cooking. ~.^

Bruiser has inveigled me to abstain from flatulent humor on Sundays. You're safe from any gaseous gags today, thanks to him. But, I've got something you Northern readers might relate to. (Heck, here too in Florida, with our 40ºF temps of late).

It's a short animation by a guy named Tony Oswald. Enjoy!

Fantastic Commercial - Talk Talk

Seeing as how my day tomorrow (Feb. 16) will be filled with inflamed Eustachian tube pain, massive grocery shopping, tedious doctor's visits (mine & my 13yo), and my aunt coming to visit, I thought I'd get a jump on my daily blog posting. Don't worry, if you read the Labels you know this is not another fart post. Like you can have too many fart posts. Hah!

Anyhow, this is a commercial from across the pond, for British Telcom. Pretty cool, huh?



As an aside, we've now hit the trillions mark in the Penny Doubled Daily project. Only 47 days to get up to almost 1.5 trillion dollars. wish it were real. *sigh*

Blasted Blogger

Today's post will be late. Really late.

Blogger was having hiccups today. And I know better than to write my entire post in Blogger without backing it up via Draft or in Notepad or something. So, Blogger ate it.

But, that's okay because it was a really pretentious and egotistical post. I was all crowing about visitors and pageviews and other stuff like that. I admit it. I like ego strokes. And the post was a subtle plea for one.

I was asking what people liked or didn't like about the blog. Whether I should change this, or do that. If having set days like Punday Monday, Top 10 Tuesday, Funky News Friday, and the like would be better.

Blah

I'm glad Blogger ate it. I was reading another blog today and had a better idea for today's post. I need some research on it, and have it partially typed up, but now i must move into the real world and do the family things ... pick up kiddies, help with homework, make and eat dinner, do some family time after, yell at the kids for stupid things they say and or do ....

So, expect a real blog entry later tonight. Or, you can read it tomorrow for a double dose. It'll be interesting. ^.^

I hope ...
